50 States Geography Enhancement

We'll started working on the geography of the 50 states in class with our suffrage map.  If you want to or need to practice, here are some sites to practice for your enhancement grade.  

The easiest game is this one, which will give you choices between states:

If you’re not at school, you can play the computer based geo game (that you remember from last year) online at:

 An easy game and a good place to start if you don't know your states well:

A fairly tough game where you need to type in the names of all 50 states while looking at an outline map:
